Agree 100% it's the only thing on our awesome vehicles that I hate! We have this beautiful 16" screen and I use it to view temps and things on my truck instead of having it be an awesome guidance system!
this bluetooth interface sucks. because it can't read the metadata embedded in each properly formatted music file, creating libraries or genre-based searches is not possible. sound fidelity is also not as good as reading that damn file from the stick.
I've had this functionality on all my cars/trucks/motorcycles for over 10 years - except for the R1T. So, sorry, but I just do not want to accept 'that's how it is now'.
Well that's your choice for sure. You don't have to accept it but Rivian doesn't have to add it either. My 2015 Highlander doesn't have that option neither did my GTI so I guess I don't see need for it for me.
…”pay twice?” That really hurts to think of. Makes me miss the days before streaming music. Bluetooth with Rivian is not a good option since you can’t search your library on the Rivian screen.
Entertainment options are nice, hopefully its native apps like how spotify is; streaming via casting sounds less appealing.
This also may include traffic data as it does in other vehicles.
